Expo 2020 Dubai has warned visitors against buying tickets for the Coldplay concert from fraudsters who are taking advantage of the free event.
Coldplay play Al Wasl Plaza on February 15. Limited tickets were available for the free event, which is fully booked.
Con men are now selling the tickets for Dh400 to Dh600 ($108-163) and have posted ads on Dubizzle, the online classifieds platform.
“We are aware that some free tickets for Coldplay's concert on 15 February are being re-sold for money online,” Expo 2020 Dubai organisers tweeted on Sunday.
“We caution visitors against paying money to an untrusted source.
“The original purchaser may distribute more than one copy of the same ticket, thus leading to fraudulent sales.”
Each ticket has a unique QR code that can be used only once. Organisers said that anyone who tried to enter the venue with a code that had already been used would be turned away.
Visitors also have the option to watch the British band on the big screens at Jubilee Park, Festival Garden and Dubai Millennium Amphitheatre, where access is granted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Fans can also watch the concert online on Virtual Expo and Expo 2020's YouTube and Expo TV channel.

Salah in numbers
€39 million: Liverpool agreed a fee, including add-ons, in the region of €39m (nearly Dh176m) to sign Salah from Roma last year. The exchange rate at the time meant that cost the Reds £34.3m - a bargain given his performances since.
13: The 25-year-old player was not a complete stranger to the Premier League when he arrived at Liverpool this summer. However, during his previous stint at Chelsea, he made just 13 Premier League appearances, seven of which were off the bench, and scored only twice.
57: It was in the 57th minute of his Liverpool bow when Salah opened his account for the Reds in the 3-3 draw with Watford back in August. The Egyptian prodded the ball over the line from close range after latching onto Roberto Firmino's attempted lob.
7: Salah's best scoring streak of the season occurred between an FA Cup tie against West Brom on January 27 and a Premier League win over Newcastle on March 3. He scored for seven games running in all competitions and struck twice against Tottenham.
3: This season Salah became the first player in Premier League history to win the player of the month award three times during a term. He was voted as the division's best player in November, February and March.
40: Salah joined Roger Hunt and Ian Rush as the only players in Liverpool's history to have scored 40 times in a single season when he headed home against Bournemouth at Anfield earlier this month.
30: The goal against Bournemouth ensured the Egyptian achieved another milestone in becoming the first African player to score 30 times across one Premier League campaign.
8: As well as his fine form in England, Salah has also scored eight times in the tournament phase of this season's Champions League. Only Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, with 15 to his credit, has found the net more often in the group stages and knockout rounds of Europe's premier club competition.
